The Popdust Files: justin bieber, mother’s day

You know that no major holiday can pass without a Justin Bieber anthem to its tribute—remember how moving “Earth Day (What Are We Gonna Do About It?)” was?—so now we have “Turn To You (Mother’s Day Dedication),” a song about, you guessed it, the upcoming summer solstice. The song is an exceedingly dramatic ballad dedicated, rather explicitly, to Mama Pattie. “You worked two jobs / To keep a roof above our heads / You chose / A life for me”—and those are just the opening lines. By the time we get to the chorus, we’re already up to “So when you’re lost and you’re tired / When you’re broken in two / Let my love take you higher / Cause I, I still turn to you.”

The song is already #4 on iTunes, by the way. A lotta love for the single mothers out there, who get all the single’s proceeds. (Personally, we think it all should just go straight into Pattie’s bank account. What better Mothers’ Day present could there be?)
